Dr. Robert Heller is one of New York City's leading veterinarians, and his 'Ask Dr. Bob' advice column is hugely popular among pet-lovers. Yet Dr. Bob understands animals a lot better than people, and he could definitely use some advice of his own-especially when it comes to his family. His father is angry and controlling, his mother is nearly invisible, and his brother seems bent on destroying not just his own life but the lives of everyone around him. As for Bob's wife, Anna, she is all but perfect, assuming one can ignore her own colorful but deeply dysfunctional clan. And then, just when Bob thinks he's figured out what it takes to thrive in the human world as comfortably as he does among cats, dogs, and hamsters, tragedy strikes. How can he go on living when he is suddenly, soul killingly alone?
